... Tera and I headed home from dinner and spent the majority of the drive home going on and on about our upcoming referral. Who is she? What will she look like? How old is she? Has she been born yet? Conversations like these had existed for quite some time or at least since we were placed on the referral list at our adoption agency. We got home and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. As we took off our shoes Tera noticed that there was a message on the machine. When she pressed play we were left with a message that a little girl who had been born on October 4th was being referred to us. Later that evening we received an email with pictures of the child who would change our lives forever. This is one in a series of pictures we received just one year ago today:
This would be the beginning of a long road of ups and downs that would last until her arrival home on June 9th of this year. We are truly blessed to have this beautiful treasure in our lives. Today is a very special day for the three of us and I thought I'd take a moment to share it with you. Gracias.

One of the best days of our lives.
I love you. God bless, T
I remember YOUR DAY like it was yesterday!!!! And what a beauty Emma was a year ago and even more so now....if that is possible!
Selfishly, I remember talking to Tera and realizing that we were not too far behind on the list of referrals!!!!!!!!
Little did we know, our call would come 2 weeks later!
WHAT A YEAR, huh?!
What a JOY this journey has been! Yes, even the uncertain times... they enlarged your faith, they produced patient endurance and hopeful hearts, trust and faith that God would make a way when the world seemed to throw up the insurmountable wall!
Along with you and Tera, I look forward to the days to come - watching your family grow in faith, and in love!
BLESS Y'ALL!!
